The One Person Stephen King Is Scared Of Should Definitely Scare You, Too

International bestseller and acclaimed author Stephen King has given the world some of the scariest, most twisted characters in literary history — psychic spree killer Carrie, haunted, insane Jack Torrance, the vicious, anthropomorphic car Christine. King has spent a lifetime scaring others, but what scares him most isn't the supernatural, it's Republicans. During an interview with The Daily Beast on Monday, Stephen King admitted he's afraid of presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

[Ted Cruz is] very scary. I actually think Trump, in the end, would be more electable than Cruz because Cruz is a fundamentalist Christian and it would almost be like electing the analog of an Imam — someone whose first guiding principle would be the scripture rather than the Constitution. But I don't think he could get elected. And, even if he was able to govern without blowing up the world, could we look at a guy who resembles a cable game show host for four years? He has that awful plastered-down hair and everything.
